Stick your DRM music, video, game, application bullshit where the sun doesn't shine. I've had enough of broken "protection" systems and restrictions on what I can do with what I own, and yes I do own that copy of the movie which I bought.
No extra DRM. It's locked to a Steam account, but you can log in on any computer which has Steam installed and play any game on your account. If it's not installed, you can download it. PITA, but better than the alternative method of having all of your games on every computer: Carrying every installation disk you own.
I buy all of my games on Steam now. I might get a couple from Good Old Games, if I can find some I like.
Off topic: Does anybody know if there's an online store offering System Shock 2 for download? I've never played it, and think I should.
I'd be willing to include it as another form of evidence in a case, but it would be included regardless of outcome. Inconclusive? That gets included for consideration.
Cases based upon polygraph / fMRI tests would be thrown out with prejudice.
In the UK you cannot be forced to provide a specimen of breath for blood alcohol analysis. Failing to do so is a crime, with identical penalties to providing a positive reading of greater than 80mg/100ml blood alcohol (35g/100ml breath), being a mandatory 12 month driving ban and a fine of (typically) £300-£400. However, failing to provide a sample will often include discretionary increases in the duration of a ban, or a much heavier fine.
Forcing a suspect to provide a sample would be assault. It's that simple. However, this is totally off-topic and nothing to do with fMRI Mens Rea tests.
Interesting factoid: Arnold Schwarzenegger asked if he would be allowed to do the voice-over for the Austrian translation of The Terminator. He was denied.
Apparently, Arnie has a somewhat colloquial accent in his home country, somewhat akin to the deep south in the US, or Norfolk in the UK. He sounds like a farmer.
"I need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle" takes on an entirely different slant when you say it like a hick. Brokeback Terminator.
WoW does not run on the iPhone. If it was, you wouldn't be able to zoom the UI; It would be running at the native resolution (and horribly blocky). This is a VNC connection to another computer running WoW.
Hell, you can see the tessellation when he scrolls around the login screen. You get that from breaking down the screen into quarters and transporting these sections separately to reduce apparent lag (compared to rendering the whole scene at once, as running WoW directly on the iPhone would do).
Indeed! I absolutely would have bought The Adventures of Mark Twain had it been available in the UK, but it's Region 1 encoded only! BADOING! one lost sale there, and it's not even my fault!
Stick that in your empirically proven facts (I know you were being facetious).
If I (or other more-than-casual WoW players) can't use the UI enhancements which improve on the basics Blizzard provide, it'll never take off with any more than the casual player. However, the casual player won't pay a second subscription to a gaming site, just to play when away from home...

You're assuming that being called a "faggot" was supposed to be an insult. Re-read the sentence, replacing the exclamation mark with an ellipsis.
:)
I think you were just hit on by a gay guy with poor grammar
Gaits are fine, but what will they do about my fence?
Waaa waaa waaaaaaaaaa!

I'm off to read a book.
Your post had the exponential to be funny, but I think you missed it.
So is that a robot stabbing a person with a knife, or a robot stabbing a person with a knife?
Would you like the answer expressed in Libraries of Congress, or Pallets of Kleenex?
There was.
You were trying to win a million dollars.

I love a good seared steak like the next guy, but I wouldn't want to have sex with it.
One word.
Cricket.

That's 35(micro)grams/100ml breath. It appears that /. doesn't like µ for Greek Mu.

Damn right!
Now get off my self-mowing lawn!
What pisses me off is that he is n't publishing this.
FTFY, considering the tone of the rest of your comment.
You want him to publish so the banks have to fix it, not have him keep it secret and leave the rest to exploit it.

In short, FAKE.

Forgive me. I'd donate, if I was able. Probably the same amount as I paid for the original Half Life.
Please, PLEASE! I simply must buy a bridge!
Top posting makes sense. The history is there, but the most recent message is automatically displayed first. You know, the bit you want to read.
I know scrolling to the end of an email is hardly difficult or arduous, but it's one less thing for the Computer Users, None Technical to think about.
DIablo 2 runs on Linux? I've never played it... I might just have a reason now (Having WoW as the only running game is getting VERY boring).
It's a reference to D&D, apparently. http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1592034&cid=31595704
